There’s a wonderful song in the musical ON THE TOWN called ‘Some Other Time’ (Leonard Bernstein, Comden and Green). The song begins, “Where has the time all gone to, haven’t done half the things I want to…..oh well, we’ll catch up some other time…”
I started Vienna’s Classic Hollywood in September, 2012 , knowing next to nothing about blogging, but I did have experience editing a film magazine ,’That Certain Age’.
It’s now 5 years since my first post, and I do wonder where the time has gone!
That first post ( called ‘Classic Opening Scenes’ ) was only two paragraphs long and had one tiny picture . ( Boy, do I post a lot more pictures these days!)
It’s been great discovering so many online fans of vintage Hollywood. And I’ve enjoyed researching for articles and learning so much more about the classic era.
There are so many films I want to write about, and I always look forward to providing a forum for discussion.
My thanks to everyone who has contributed over the years, and to the many wonderful bloggers whose work I enjoy so much.
And, of course, any excuse for some photos! Some scenes from just some of my favourite films:

Thank you. Like your turn of phrase – ‘ dusting off the treasures’!
Congratulations on your fifth anniversary! I am rapidly approaching my first anniversary at WordPress. This is a fine, interesting article. I enjoyed reading it, and I look forward to reading more of your articles in the future.
By the way, I would like to invite you to join my blogathon, “The Great Breening Blogathon:” https://pureentertainmentpreservationsociety.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/extra-the-great-breening-blogathon/. It is celebrating the life and work of Joseph Breen, the enforcer of the Motion Picture Production Code between 1934 and 1954. As we honor his birthday, which is on October 14, we will be discussing and analyzing the Code era, breening films from other eras, and writing about our own ideas for classic movies. One doesn’t have to agree with the Code and Mr. Breen to enjoy that! I hope you will do me the honor of joining. We could really use your talent!
Yours Hopefully,
Tiffany Brannan
